April 23, 201511 yr What do you do if the Reds have a 2 game lead in the NL Central at the deadline? Like GT said if the offer is right. I don't think we will have to worry about that happening.
April 23, 201511 yr This. It's why they need to move Cueto, Chapman, Phillips (if possible), and I'm starting to give up on Bruce. Restock the system, suck for a year or two, and then make a go at it. I've lost faith in Walt. With him steering the ship, this may be a pipedream.
April 23, 201511 yr I bet we see Barnhart and Boesch, and maybe even Negron today. Get away day lineups are fun!
April 23, 201511 yr I bet we see Barnhart and Boesch, and maybe even Negron today. Get away day lineups are fun! I just don't see Price giving anyone a day off today, maybe Sunday
April 23, 201511 yr I think Cueto ends up in Boston next year as well I wouldn't mind seeing him in Boston. I hope he avoids Chicago (Cubs).
April 23, 201511 yr I agree that moving Cueto before the deadline is the best long-term move for the franchise; however, if the Reds are still in contention, I'm not sure how you justify (in the short term) trading away one of the game's best pitchers. If ownership is going to deal him and say this is a long-term move, then they should've dealt him last year. Tough spot to be in.

Restock the system, suck for a year or two, and then make a go at it. As much as I agree with all of this,especially the Bruce part. 3 of the most consistent things about the Reds are Cueto,Chapman and Phillips. Cueto is a guaranteed win with a couple of runs Chapman is unhittable Phillips continues to field and hit Bruce is my problem of these 4
April 23, 201511 yr Phillips does not come close to performing up to the level of his contract IMO. He's aging, his range is starting to decline, and his bat has not been the same as it was in well over a year.
April 23, 201511 yr I bet we see Barnhart and Boesch, and maybe even Negron today. Get away day lineups are fun! But according to some on here this is the best bench the Reds have had in years so is this a bad thing?
April 23, 201511 yr But according to some on here this is the best bench the Reds have had in years so is this a bad thing? It is the best bench they've had in a while (well at least when Walt and Price aren't handicapping them by having them play a man down). Still doesn't mean it's good. Just speaks to how god-awful it's been the last 3-4 seasons.
April 23, 201511 yr I'll bet that the tandem of Bruce/Byrd will (assuming they're healthy) challenge for the league lead in strikeouts for a pair of teammates
April 23, 201511 yr Phillips does not come close to performing up to the level of his contract IMO. He's aging, his range is starting to decline, and his bat has not been the same as it was in well over a year. Trust me, I agree with you. But he still gets the job done as much as many out there. Just have a strange feeling at this point that Walt makes Phillips a Red for life and grooms Negron or a prospect acquired in a Cueto or Chapman trade

April 23, 201511 yr Hamilton's winning run. Hamilton scores on wild pitch | reds.com Hey ump, get the (Bryan Price) out of the way!!!!
April 23, 201511 yr Nori Aoki - .338 BA .400 OBP 3 RBI 4 SB 23 Hits Marlon Byrd - .115 .130 OBP 4 RBI 0 SB 6 Hits Everyone should have seen this coming given his 185 strikeouts last season and his age....
